Jahmiel

Born in Portmore, Jamaica, during 1992, Jamiel Foster emerged as a reggae singer and songwriter whose affinity for music surfaced early. By age 12 he was already composing and performing original material, and throughout his teenage years he directed his focus toward establishing a full-time career in the field. He first recorded under the name Culture Jamiel before adopting the streamlined stage identity Jahmiel while sharpening his approach. The resulting style fused reggae and dancehall with pronounced pop sensibilities, yielding an initial breakthrough via the 2014 single “Long Distance Love.” Additional tracks soon gained traction, among them the widely praised “Gain the World” in 2015, “Years to Come” in 2016, and “Strongest Soldier” in 2017. He took these releases on international tours while continuing to develop new work as his audience expanded.
